After receiving a gift card for SportsBikeShop.co.uk and needing a new pair of gloves, I decided to visit their Milton Keynes branch. I had planned a nice twisty route from East London through North Hertfordshire, a loop around Huntingdon, Bedfordshire and finally Milton Keynes.
That was the plan but my phone, which I use as a SatNav, decided to start playing up so I got completely lost. One good thing when this happens is that you just go down any road and hope for the best.... and I found some even better roads with no cars at all
After finally arriving, I parked next to a yellow Veek and immediately got chatting to its owner and fellow forum member John. We must have spent well over an hour chatting about all things VStrom and much more.... he almost convinced me then and there to change from my Glee to a Veek!!
Finally got the new gloves and after a more direct route back, I got home 9 hours after leaving East London to a wife that I had only told "I'm going to buy some new gloves".... she was not impressed at all
Despite the ear bashing I got it was a good day and great to meet up with another forum member.
A couple of pics but no idea where I was apart from somewhere near Huntingdon
